George and his sister have decided to invest their inheritance in my country.  If I help them they will give me 10% of their fortune – not!  They don’t have millions of dollars to give away.  What they want is for you to send them your hard earned cash by way of advance fees.  They’re scammers.  Just ignore them and delete the email.

Ecowas Donations 2008

Today I’ve won $850k from Ecowas just for having an email address.  The nice people at Ecowas collect all email addresses worldwide and then for no reason at all hold a draw and send little old me money.  Sound likely?  You’re right – it isn’t likely.  In fact it didn’t happen.  Dr Adewale doesn’t want to send you money he wants to take it from you.  Just delete the email and don’t reply.

Dr Anthony Barnes (Mr)

Dr Barnes tells me he holds a “strategic position” at no less an institution than The Bank of England PLC.  Strange then that he can only manage a yahoo.com.hk email address.  You’d think the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street would manage to give him a more impressive address, wouldn’t you?   Dr Barnes and his bank have a profitable proposal for me – or you – or any one of the thousands of email addresses [Continue reading Dr Anthony Barnes (Mr)]

HARRYZAN ABDULLAH & ASSOCIATES

Harryzan Abdullah’s client died from a heart condition following the death of his entire family in tragic circumstances.  Sound familiar?  Mr Abdullah’s client was rich, very rich.  Mr Abdullah has a plan.  He wants to get his hands on his late client’s money and so he wants to present me as the next of kin so we can share the money.  Sound believable?  Of course not.

Mr Abdullah doesn’t want to give you money, [Continue reading HARRYZAN ABDULLAH & ASSOCIATES]

SEND YOUR REPLY TO MTN OFFICER IN THIS EMAIL: morrison_elliot107@yahoo.com.hk

Taiwan is rapidly becoming the country from which I receive most phishing emails.  Today’s offering is no exception.  This time it’s the MTN Telecommunication Network.  Which was (apparently) sent from Taiwan, has a Hong Kong return email address and a Nigerian phone number.  Scamming on an international scale.  Maybe Mr Morrison Elliot can teleport himself from country to country at will.  

Whatever he can do, he’s a scammer.  There was no draw.  Mr [Continue reading SEND YOUR REPLY TO MTN OFFICER IN THIS EMAIL: morrison_elliot107@yahoo.com.hk]

ZENITH LOAN AGENCY 2.5% INTREST ON LOANS.CONTACT TO APPLY NOW.

“Barrister” Paul Harrison seems to be suffering from a serious case of confusion.  Look at his address for a start, Rotherham South Yorkshire and then London.  Err, I don’t think so.  They have to be well over 200 miles apart!  And look at all those details he wants, including your driving licence or identity card.  Sounds more like a case of identity theft than a loan.

Please don’t reply to this email.  Mr Harrison [Continue reading ZENITH LOAN AGENCY 2.5% INTREST ON LOANS.CONTACT TO APPLY NOW.]

Urgent Assistance Needed

Mr James thinks it will come as a surprise to hear that he works for a bank in Nigeria and needs my assistance to get his sticky mitts on $10m.  How do I tell him that it isn’t a surprise.  He’s about the fourth person to tell me that this week.  Do you suppose they have a lot of spare money at the Central Bank of Nigeria, just waiting for their employees to give [Continue reading Urgent Assistance Needed]

Dear Friend

Mr Kabelo is one of the many people who have written to me recently claiming to have large amounts of money left by the Late Andreas Schranner.  He is keen that the money doesn’t go to his government, so he’d prefer to give 40% of it to little old me.  For some strange reason I don’t believe him.  And neither should you.  He doesn’t want to give you money – he wants to take [Continue reading Dear Friend]
